Will Taking Another Wellbutrin Xl150mg Pill Help Sudden Emotional Pain Or Have Negative Effect?

I currently take one wellbutrin XL 150mg one in the morning. I just got some terrible news about a loved one and the emotional pain is getting to me. I am considering taking another pill this evening. will this help or have a negative effect. It is after hours to ask my doctor and won’t get to all weekend.

Answer

I have been on Wellbutrin for years and I want to tell you to PLEASE not take an extra pill. If you take too much of this, it can cause seizures, for one thing, plus a one-time burst of extra medication will NOT make you feel any better. PLEASE talk to your doctor before you even think about doing that, okay? It is NOT safe to just pop another one, believe me.
